Last day of orientation!

Today was the last day of orientation and since the rest of the week had been going so smoothly, something was certain to occur. Sure enough at 8:30 AM someone says over the PA system in the dorms "All students are requested to go to La Choza immediately." La Choza is sort of like the common room of all the dorms where everybody hangs out. The schedule said that the first information session was at 9:00 so I figured they must have breakfast for us or something. I met up with my friends along the way (most of whom were in really rough shape from una discoteca the night before). As we get close to La Choza one of the RAs says to us "Run, run!" and points to a bus. So we run. As we get on the bus we realize that everyone else there is Mexican, but then it leaves. They start driving out of town and no jokes we start down this road that is so small the branches are scraping the bus. They let us off about twenty minutes out of town and we start following the crowd.
Turns out the place is some sort of park that TEC owns and that we had accidentally joined the first year students for their residence orientation. At first we play some games meant to get to know people. I never realized how tough these games are! They definitely never taught me in Spanish class how to say "act like a cow" or "put your ear on his ankle"! After the games we went around to different stations and learned different things about residence. It concluded with a huge lunch.
We arrived back at TEC just in time to attend the last bit of the seven hours of sessions we were supposed to attend today. Luckily some of our friends went to the sessions so we can get the information from them.
The real test comes Monday when classes start... I just hope the teacher doesn't ask me a question and then kick me out when she realizes how little I can speak!

Que tengas un buen día,
